Homomorphic Images Of Progenitors Of Order Three, Mark Gutierrez Jan 2010

Homomorphic Images Of Progenitors Of Order Three, Mark Gutierrez

Theses Digitization Project

The main purpose of this thesis is to construct finite groups as homomorphic images of infinite semi-direct products, 2*n : N, 3*n : N, and 3*n :m N, where 2*n and 3*n are free products of n copies of the cyclic group C₂ extended by N, a group of permutations on n letters.


The Riesz Representation Theorem For Linear Functionals, Thomas Daniel Schellhous Jan 2010

The Riesz Representation Theorem For Linear Functionals, Thomas Daniel Schellhous

Theses Digitization Project

This study will investigate the Riesz representation theorem for linear functionals in relation to locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Two other theorems that are commonly called "Riesz representation theorem" are the theorem for finite-dimensional inner product spaces and the theorem for Hilbert spaces [BN00], and studying these interesting topics helps us to not only gain a better understanding of how linear functionals interact with vector spaces over which they are defined, but also to see faint threads that hint at a deep connection between the various fields of modern mathematics.


Symmetric Generators Of Order 3, Stewart Contreras Jan 2010

Symmetric Generators Of Order 3, Stewart Contreras

Theses Digitization Project

The main purpose of this project is to construct finite homomorphic images of infinite semi-direct products.


Symmetric Generation, Dung Hoang Tri Jan 2010

Symmetric Generation, Dung Hoang Tri

Theses Digitization Project

In this thesis we construct finite homorphic images of infinite semi-direct products, 2*n : N, where 2*n is a free product of n copies the cyclic group of permutations on n letter.


An Investigation Of Kurosh's Theorem, Keith Anthony Earl Jan 2010

An Investigation Of Kurosh's Theorem, Keith Anthony Earl

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project will be an exposition of the Kurosh Theorem and the necessary and suffcient condition that A must be algebraic and satisfy a P.I. to be locally finite.


Snort: A Combinatorial Game, Keiko Kakihara Jan 2010

Snort: A Combinatorial Game, Keiko Kakihara

Theses Digitization Project

This paper focuses on the game Snort, which is a combinatorial game on graphs. This paper will explore the characteristics of opposability through examples. More fully, we obtain some neccessary conditions for a graph to be opposable. Since an opposable graph guarantees a second player win, we examine graphs that result in a first player win.
